Cash and valuables transport industry before collective bargaining agreement
In the tough tariff dispute in the cash and valuables transport industry, the negotiating partners have agreed on a compromise. However, the union members still have to agree to this.
Employers and unions have largely come closer in the sixth round of collective bargaining for around 10,000 employees in the transport of cash and valuables. Now the union members should decide whether they want to accept the current offer from the Federal Association of German Money and Valuable Services (BDGW). According to Verdi, the survey should start on December 2nd.
The status of the negotiations therefore includes wage increases that should be between 5.4 percent and 7.12 percent over a period of two years, depending on the federal state. In addition, the attendance bonus, which can be reduced in many federal states, is to be replaced by a fixed annual one-off payment. According to the union, all employees should have reached the 30-day holiday rule within the next five years; Depending on your length of service, another two days may be added. A nationwide uniform regulation for overtime regulations was also found within 5 years.
“With this final offer, we have put a very good overall package on the table, which the union must now discuss,” said BDGW negotiator Hans-Jörg Hisam. This overall package consists of an improved wage offer, the merging of collective bargaining areas, a significantly improved company bonus, special leave for length of service and a compensation payment through a tax-free allowance for the two empty months.
The tough tariff dispute was accompanied by numerous warning strikes, which, according to Verdi, had partly affected the supply of cash in shops and at ATMs.
